I was using Cerave Facial Foaming Cleanser which worked well but I was looking for a paraben-free replacement, and this is it. This is a gel-cream with a light citrus scent and it cleans my dry sensitive skin very well. My face felt comfortable after without dryness, flakiness or tightness. This is also a reasonably priced high-end cleanser and you only need a small amount at a time for the whole face.
